What are you drinking now?

A blend ... 33% Blonde Ale, fermented hot with Kveik, Mosaic & Centennial and a Czech Pilsner, 34/70 lots of Saaz. Really tasty. The blonde still needs more conditioning, but in moderation the raw "early beer" is awesome. The Pilsner smooths out the edges. Homebrew blend!

I should have stayed in the ac too, but had to get some chores done, and canned 7pints and 3quarts of pickles from the garden cukes, not doing that inside haha.. also made this hot sauce from garden peppers, Serrano, jalapeno, a few Chiles in there. Nice heat, I'm digging it. Drinking the beer, not the snot.

On the deck with some HM Mott's juice hard cider. Basically, EdWort's Apfelwein without any added sugar.

Hb helles, crappy pic but oh well... back outside again, and soon to be checking out the bee scenario at my dad's garage.

I’m still closing out the Short’s Brews from Michigan this week. Yesterday I had a top-notch IPA from Short's, Huma Lupa Licious IPA. I know, sounds like a Willy Wonka character. Great beer though... Today we’re going over to the Hazy side with their seasonal brew, Pure Michigan Hazy.

Well, Beermeister32 is an IPA fan for sure. I definitely enjoy the Westies, I’m trying like heck to love at least some of the NEIPAs and now this. A Midwest Hazy. What’ll they think of next!

Today’s muddy is a bit on the thin side I’d say. Pours cloudy, and then a big blob of hazing murk at the end of the dump! Tastes OK six gulps in, but honestly I wasn’t too jazzed the first gulp of this. Nowhere on the can shows ABV but looking on the website (which shows dozens and dozens of brews) I find 4.3% ABV and an IBU of 37.9...

Well, it doesn’t seem that hoppy, and the ABV is a bit on the low side - seems a bit watery to the Beermeister32 palate. I’d say stick with that Willy Wonka one… Go Blue…….!

Pure Michigan, my homeland!
Great choice!!

A sip of HM blackcurrant wine. Not sure why I left such a small pour in the bottle.

HB Schwarzbier.
Still trying to decide if I want to enter this beer in the little podunk homebrew contest at the county fair this weekend. I already have a couple bottled so I might just to see what feedback I get. There’s no professional judge or anything. Last year it was just the owner of a local-ish brewery and one other random dude who sat in as judges. As an entrant, you also get a sample of all the other entries and get to vote on “People’s Choice”. I personally think it’s way too roasty for the style.

Go for it, i would say it's still in style so why not.

Thanks…
I probably will. I’ve got nothing to lose. The last few years, there have only been just a few other people besides myself enter anything in the contest anyhow… hell, there are only 4 very vague categories. Last year I had the only beer in one of the categories and got first place by default.

That's absurd! Very, very nicely done, sir.

Thank you!!! I got this recipe from @wepeeler and it is so good. One of my favorites. Citra and Mosiac hops. I use White Labs Costal Haze yeast.

Killer beer. I have that recipe archived. Looks great, Nick!

I'll join you with the semi new best bitter.

 

[Dgallo]

This regional Pilsner is great. I’m hoping the kids don’t eat all their nuggets and fries so I can clean their plates lol

 

[Dgallo]

Very good choice. Mine is Very Hazy.

I’m a hazy series fan my self. My two favorite TH IPAs are their Bright Series especially with Citra and very hazy! Summer and Treat are also great beers

 

[RCope]

HB Mango IPA. My backyard mango trees were loaded this year...brewing a Mango Wheat this weekend. Thankfully, mango and beer go well together. And Nick gets around ;-)

 

[Beermeister32]

Here’s our final Short’s beer, I drank them all!

Bellaire Brown is a tasty 7% ABV traditional Brown Ale, named in honor of their Bellaire, Michigan hometown.

Nice flavor, brown with a touch of reddish showing through, Bellaire Brown has somewhat restrained hopping, a small amount of head and lacing, medium carbonation.

This is another Short’s beer that is an easy glugger – it really belies the 7% ABV - Bellaire Brown really drinks more like a 4-5% beer. Tip your head back and dump it in. Cheers!

 

[Rish]

This is a great tasting stout.

Bright with citra is killer, I am also a fan of ghost emoji. And a few others, haze is solid. Sheeesh anyway, back to hb helles, I can't seem to get a good pic of this beer, its a touch lighter and clearer, even in the house with ac at 75 its sweating, 100f ish outside so is what it is. After picking some of the garden I took this beer to the shower, I'll leave that pic out of it, haha.

Edit, actually that is a decent pic color wise, but the condensation is interfering with the clarity. I've had 6 or so, keep sweating them out and they're super crushable in this heat.

 

[day_trippr]

The sweating glass thing is enough of an aesthetic turn-off I've not been taking many hero shots lately
100°F and humidity that somehow survives the AC does that...

True, so true
